‘We need times of solitude and silence. We need times of refreshment, laughter and rest. We need to listen to the voice of God in our hearts as he tells us what we need.' – Captivating, by John & Staci Eldredge
I have just returned
from a week-long camping holiday called FOCUS with my church family, which was
hosted by HTB church network and was situated in the small town called Mablethorpe
(far east-cost of England). It was simply magnificent. If I go on to describe
just how awesome it felt to truly zone out from all the distractions of life
and FOCUS on God…I would bore you with all the details. But it really got me
thinking about the importance of taking time-out. This is something I particularly
struggle with. The idea of putting a break to everything, simply letting go, inhaling
and exhaling rest and exercising a prayerful lifestyle in exchange to living on
a busy schedule and constantly being ‘proactive’ is not easy. How many of us really
enjoy times of solitude and silence when presented with the opportunity?
